Why the big build up and announcement?



Our coach on Friday night will be





Richard Agar!

(We can do it too)

because they know they're struggling for a profile when it comes to signings I'd imagine, trying to get the name back in the press.

if we dont got to widnes with the right attitude then it could be a very intresting match see leigh v catalans and batley hudds but i still fell we can afford to rest 2 or 3 players in fitz,ogre and briscoe and long injured presuming no one else gets injured hopefully.

2006/7 wasnt it????
math time


and replying on one benefactor is fine as far as i know, they have gone from strength to strength and are now a model set up having learned some hard lessons...
what else have they got wrong then??

Thanks i thought i was in the correct ball park

It's not gone down at all well on their board. Seems they were expecting a big name new coach.

I was expecting a big name coach after all that suspense

Absolutely loving the "gashtastic" comment.

you mean like when Saints play at 'home' their 7832 average is pitiful for a team like that even taking into account the extra 9 miles from KR?

id be suprised if saints dint average 12 or 13k next year

Their stadium is looking like it will be superb. Plenty of pics on their board

yeh been looking myself and like you say its looking great exactly what st helens need as a club. there crowds will certainly go well back up considering there average crowd at knowsley road was about 11k roughly then with a brand new stadium i woundt be suprised to see a 14k average next year.

As anouncements go it was on par with the recent rovers anouncemnt of "We'll make another announcement soon" in terms of being anti-climatic.

Just looked at the pictures, very jealous, would love Hull to be in a stadium like that, 18000 capcity and standing areas would be great for us.

The 3D tour of the new stadium is very impressive indeed. The '80 Minutes of St. Helens' made me laugh though, with the words 'COMMITMENT' and 'A GREATER FUTURE' with Kyle Eastmond playing in the background

I was told last night that it is only £2 a pint in their sports bar too!!

guess it will still be £2 to get in then

Apparently it's a £1 to get in then £2 a pint,which,if you drink several like myself,isn't bad at all!

would love fc to have there own purpose rugby built stadium maybe in the future?

No chance unless a fan wins the euro millions

you never know the allams might buy out our contract to play at the kc for 50 mill with that build our own stadium

I can't see where within the scope of having the club within the traditional catchment area where'd you put it? Boulevard site isn't big enough and you'd need to demolish much of the housing to make accessability viable.

The old Birds Eye site on Hessle road?

Cant we just chuck Arco out of their Distribution Centre - looks cracking from the outside and could easily be modified into a stadium
